I listened to the two gents from the trust's interview before the game and sadly it confirmed my worst fears, i will not be joining. I had always thought that the trust would allow Fenty to return but the tripe about not having a club without Fenty is just ridiculous. The Trust finally has some power and they are going to vote the worst chairman in living history back in without asking any question of what he plans to do with the club.

I know people are scared about the future of the club but to place the fans support in a man who has the club losing nearly a million a year is lunacy, he cannot sustain the club and the debt to him will only rise.

I hope john has a plan, we all need to pull in the right direction together. Put the past behind us and cut our cloth accordingly build something for the future. Live within our means, and stop making a loss of 1 mil a year, get fans back into the ground and stop charging 1.50 for tea and coffee

I very much agree that to say such a thing would be ridiculous but having listened to the interview that wasnt what was said.

It went something on the lines of they had canvassed their members and the view was that the club for the time being would be better off with JF in the boardroom rather than outside of it.

Big difference!

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant Kris! I was one of those who voted to get Mr Fenty back in the boardroom for the simple reason that at this moment in time there is absolutely no alternative.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

That seems to be your answer for everything, i suggest you have a listen to the interview.

As I understand it, the vote is to re-elect him as a Director. And your assessment of the situation isnt entirely accurate either. Attending the AGM will no doubt have demonstrated this to you. Im not sure this will neccessarily be reflected by the minutes but moving forward I am sure the trust will be active in seeking means of support for GTFC in an effort to end the total dependance upon Mr Fenty who himself has repeatedly stated he wants other backers on board.

Then I'd suggest not commenting on decisions.  You've got a chance to influence that decision by joining the trust and voting how you want, but like many you have decided not to join and instead will just moan about it.

What a totally stupid comment.

The Trust now has a real "presence" with its new found shareholding and as such can have some influence.

If you were a member, you could have had your say, and you could have changed their minds - at the very least wou would have had a chance to listen to all the arguements for and against. Posting drivel like that on here is akin to a childlike tantrum.

Grow up and get involved if you have something to add!
